Georgia Digital Nomad Visa

Georgia has long been one of the easiest bases for remote workers: many nationalities can stay visa-free for up to 365 days, and the Remotely from Georgia program targeted nomads with about USD 2,000 per month or USD 24,000 in savings. Foreign income is generally untaxed under Georgia's territorial system, and Small Business status can tax local turnover at 1%. Note that a work-permit law took effect in 2026; confirm the current status before relying on it.

Low-Friction Base with Territorial Tax

Georgia has been a favorite of remote workers thanks to visa-free stays of up to 365 days for many nationalities and a territorial tax system under which foreign-source income is generally not taxed. The Remotely from Georgia initiative targeted nomads showing about USD 2,000 per month or USD 24,000 in savings. Entrepreneurs registering locally can access Small Business status taxing turnover at 1%.

2026 Rules: Confirm Before You Rely on It

A work-permit law took effect in Georgia in 2026 that places remote work for a foreign employer in a less certain legal position, and the operational status of the dedicated nomad program is disputed across sources. The visa-free stay and territorial tax remain the practical draw, but we confirm the current, applicable rules for your nationality before you build plans around them.

Georgia for the Independent Worker

Georgia has long been one of the simplest bases for remote workers, and it suits freelancers and location-independent professionals who value flexibility over a formal permit. Many nationalities can stay visa-free for an extended period, and a dedicated program has targeted nomads who can show either a monthly income or equivalent savings. The practical route is light: confirm your current status, enter or apply, set up your tax arrangements, and plan renewals or re-entry as needed. Its territorial approach means foreign income is generally left untaxed, and a small-business option can apply a low rate to local turnover, which appeals to freelancers billing abroad. Plan the everyday too. The cost of living is modest, banking is straightforward, and connectivity is good in the main cities. Private health insurance is worth arranging regardless of the route you use. One important caveat: a work-permit law took effect in 2026, which may change how remote work is treated, so we strongly suggest confirming the current rules with an adviser before you rely on any of this.
